Q. Very dilute nitric acid reacts with zinc to form zinc nitrate and

Chhattisgarh PMTChhattisgarh PMT 2005

Solution:

$Z n$ react with very dil. $H N O_{3}$ and form zinc nitrate $Zn \left( NO _{3}\right)_{2}, NH _{4} NO _{3}$ and $H _{2} O$.
$4 Z n+10 H N O_{3} \rightarrow 4 Z n\left(N O_{3}\right)_{2}+N H_{4} N O_{3}+H_{2} O$
